The South African Music Awards (SAMAs) are South Africa’s premier annual music awards, recognising musical excellence across genres and the various facets of musical production including production, engineering and video production.
The SAMAs are the Grammys of South African music - winning a SAMA is the highest award a musician or producer can win. An award statuette is called a SAMA.
The SAMAs are run by the Recording Industry of South Africa (RiSA).
The event was instituted in 1995, making 2008 the 14th SAMA awards. The awards for a year occur early in that year, and are judged on performances made in the previous year.
The show is held each year at the Superbowl in Sun City and is typically broadcast on SABC1, with performances given by some of the nominees.
The 14th Annual South African Music Awards were held on Saturday 3 May 2008. The ceremony was broadcast live on SABC1 from 20h00 - 22h30.
The 14th Annual South African Music Awards
The 14th Annual South African Music Awards opened for entry on 29 October 2007 and closed on 30 November 2007, giving South African record companies a full month to enter the most prestigious music awards event on the industry calendar.
With the exception of a handful of categories, products released between 1 December 2006 and 30 November 2007 were eligible for entry into 2008’s edition of the awards.
Those categories where the release date of the album is not considered are Best Selling Album, the Lifetime Achievement Award, Best Music Video and Record of the Year.
The proprietary online entry system for record companies was once again used for the submission of entries.
Where eligibility requirements are concerned, entry was open to any qualifying recording artist, director, producer or engineer – the qualifying factor being someone who has been a legal resident in South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, or Botswana for a minimum of six months on the date of entry or is a South African citizen.
For duos or groups, the rules stipulate that not less than 50 percent of the duo or group needs to fall into this citizenship requirement stated above.
In addition, unless stated otherwise, collaborations/productions between qualifying artists and international artists were allowed, provided the South African qualifying artists’ participation was given star, or equal, billing.
In 2008 there were 62 categories, with enhancements to existing categories and brand new categories coming from an ongoing desire to reflect the diversity, the dynamism, and the talent that exists in the South African music industry.
Of the 62 categories, 10 categories were not open for entry from October 29th to November 30th.
These were the Record of the Year, a pubic vote category that employs radio airplay as the mechanism for determining the nominees; Best Selling Album and the newly-inaugurated Best Selling DVD and Best Selling Music Download of the Year, which opened for entry after the close of entries in all other categories owing to their extended qualifying dates, but use a different set of criteria that involve an audit; and Lifetime Achievement Award, which is bestowed on recipients nominated by the RiSA Executive Committee.
Modern music business has seen the evolution of two powerful new drivers in the form of the Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) and the Music Download.
The contributions that they make were celebrated accordingly with their important new role at the 14th Annual SA Music Awards by introducing a vastly increased platform of recognition for DVD – the number of categories increased in 2008 to six from previously only having had one category at the 13th Annual SA Music Awards events; and the first time introduction of the awards for music download performance in Best Selling Music Download, a category that has three separate sub-categories namely: Best Selling Ring-Tune, Best Selling Full-Track and Best Selling Video.
The remaining five categories form part of the 14th Annual SA Music Awards ‘Top 5’ categories that came into being at the 13th Annual SA Music Awards - they are:
Best Female Album
Best Male Album
Best Album by a Duo or Group
Best Newcomer Album
Album of the Year
For the Top 5, record companies cannot directly enter these categories. These categories now form the SA Music Awards Top 5 group. To be eligible for entry into the Big 5 categories, the album would have to be nominated within its genre category.
The Big 5 judging system draws on the knowledge and expertise of the entire judging panel, and employs a rigorous series of judging procedures to ensure that the ultimate results for the Big 5 categories represent the music industry’s finest.
